b) The scholarship will be awarded after the judges read the applications.

c) The applications will be read, and then the judges will award the scholarship.

d) After the applications are read, the scholarship will be awarded.

Answer 1

Option b) The scholarship will be awarded after the judges read the applications.

Step-by-step explanation:

The revision that corrects the inappropriate shift in verb voice is option b) The scholarship will be awarded after the judges read the applications. This revision maintains consistency in the passive voice throughout the sentence. It correctly places the verb 'awarded' in the passive voice, keeping the focus on the scholarship being awarded rather than the judges taking action.
